Thanks to Weibo user D80_BOSS we have some looks at the Takara Tomy Transformers Generations TG-01 Optimus Prime and TG-02 Jazz on the card. These are the Japan editions of the Fall of Cybertron toys that have metallic paint apps and other touches that are different from the figures relesed here in the USA. See Takara Tomy Transformers Generations TG-01 Optimus Prime and TG-02 Jazz Card Images below.

i was gonna get this till i saw the in package pics. much less paint apps than the pic on the back of the packaging. more bait and switch. that gray plastic just ruins it. $40 + shipping for a half assed figure? no thanks.

Shame the packaging hasn't changed much (at all), I was just starting to like the United cardbacks.

More from Victor Wong on Facebook, now showing off Voyager Wave 4's Battle Core Optimus out of the box. A quick photo overview shows off the toy, including a side by side with the original release of Combiner Wars Optimus, although at least in that mode the robot head is the only point of retooling. Despite one combined form shot, we still haven't gotten a look to see the rumored retooling inside the combiner chest, but hopefully soon! Keep reading to take a look.

Victor Wong has posted images to the HK-TF Facebook page showing off his latest acquisition: Battle Core Optimus Prime! While certain sites like site sponsor BBTS had listed Battle Core Prime as shipping in July, that didn't pan out. But with an August ship date for the Deluxes and an HK sighting, it's not going to be that much longer. Read on to see photographic proof!

Thanks to Newsarama, we've got our first look at the full preview for next week's Transformers comic release, issue 44 of The Transformers. As usual, we'll be bringing you the review of the issue first right here at TFormers, so check back early next week for that. Meanwhile, keep reading to check out the preview! "LOVE AND HATE! Two emotions only inches from each other-and TRACKS and NEEDLENOSE have felt them both. On opposite sides of an eons-long war, what happens when they meet again? And what's ARCEE up to on CYBERTRON?"

TFW2005 forum member Deruji has posted a translation of the interview with Devastator designer Shogo Hasui in this month's Figure-Oh(Figure King) magazine! Within, we learn a lot in interesting things - the most notable of them being that the modern vehicle types like Mixmaster's were Hasbro's idea, and that the differences between Combiner Wars and Unite Warriors Devastator are, as we all guessed, a result of making the US figure fit a certain price point. Read on for an excerpt and a link to the full interview!
